Create a USB Bootable File from ISO
What is an ISO file or image?
An optical disc image (or ISO image, from
the ISO 9660 file system used with CD-
ROM Media

It is a single archive file that contains an


exact copy of an entire optical disc. It
essentially captures the disc's complete
data structure and contents, including
files, folders and the discs file system, in a
single compressed format.
2
Purpose:

•Primarily used to backup and distribute


data that was originally stored on optical
discs.

•Can be used to create bootable installation


media for operating systems or other
software, allowing users to install them
without requiring the physical disc.

•Can also be used to archive and share large


collections of files in a single, compressed
format.

3
Benefits:

•Convenience: Easier to store and manage


compared to physical discs, which can be
scratched or damaged.

•Portability: This can be easily transferred


and shared electronically.

•Security: Can be password-protected to


ensure data integrity.

•Compression: May be slightly compressed


compared to the original disc size, saving
storage space.
4
Limitations:

•Not directly usable: Unlike physical discs, ISO files


cannot be directly inserted into a disc drive to access
their content. They need specific software or tools to
be mounted, extracted, or burned onto a blank disc.

•Compatibility: Compatibility with different


operating systems and software may vary depending
on the format and content of the ISO file.

5
Common Use Cases:

•Distributing large software programs: Many


software developers offer downloads in ISO format
for easy installation.

•Creating bootable media: Creating USB drives or


discs for installing operating systems or recovery
tools.

collections or disc contents in a compressed file.
